Client:

Trophy

Project:

Trophy is an award-winning interdisciplinary creative collective co-founded by Sarah Conn and Allison O’Connor. They create socially engaged performance installations in diverse venues.

Mutual Design, alongside other consultants and artists, supported Trophy in making their new piece “Remixed” more accessible. "Remixed" is a deep listening experience about instigating change, where participants use a custom app on their mobile devices to respond to playful questions, revealing their relationship to change. Through a custom algorithm, personalized audio playlists and visualizations of plant life cycles are crafted, guiding participants with true stories, ambient audio, curated music, and narrative prompts.

Mutual Design conducted market research on similar apps, explored web accessibility best practices, and provided heuristic evaluation (expert user-testing feedback).
